parks

New Jersey Monthly Magazine recently did an article about the great "parks" and outdoors areas we have here in New Jersey and the Jersey Shore! Maybe some great ideas for day trips right here in the Garden State this Fall. It's always a colorful time of year when you go day-tripping in Autumn at the Shore. ...

One of the things that I love the most about Ocean County is the variety of ways that you can spend a nice day outdoors without going far.

Just last week we told you about the new park that we can look forward to in downtown Toms River. If you've passed the area in the last few days, you'll notice that progress is being made pretty quickly.

Most of us remember the devastating fire that tore through half a block of businesses in downtown Toms River in the Spring of last year. The buildings were beyond repair, and were torn down only a few months later. Since then, downtown denizens have had to pass an empty patch of dirt every day. Well, that will soon be changing.

We are at that perfect time of year where it's warm enough to enjoy lots of time outdoors, but not too hot that it gets uncomfortable away from the beaches. And, did you know that we have a lot of nature destinations all within less than an hour drive? Read on for my Top 5 Jersey Shore Nature Destinations:

Hiking is fantastic during Fall here in the Garden State

Work-- Work-- Work, Why do we have to work on such a beautiful day!   But as we look out the window from our offices and cubicles we can't help but see this beautiful weather we are having here at the shore this winter.
